Davidson started at one of the forward spots Friday night in Charlotte's win over Toronto, the Charlotte Observer reports. He had eight points on 4-of-9 shooting with three rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes.

Bobcats coach Sam Vincent said he wants to see what his young guys can do the rest of the season, the Charlotte Observer reports. "We want to look at our young guys in tough situations, see what we have," said Vincent. "I thought the young guys came in and played fairly well." The young guys presumably includes Davidson along with Jared Dudley and Matt Carroll.

Davidson could have used a season in the D-League, but the shorthanded Bobcats needed the depth last year. Even in the late season with Charlotte out of playoff contention, Davidson didnít get a whole lot of action. He played well in the summer league, showing his experience on an NBA bench helped. If Sean May (knee) is healthy, he may get that year in the D-League this year.

The Warriors selected Davidson with the 36th pick in the draft, then traded him to Charlotte along with Richardson for Brandan Wright. Davidson is 6-10, but might even be a small forward because of his nice mid-range jumper and ability to run the floor with guys much smaller. He's a nice athlete who's worth the risk as a project for Charlotte, but won't have much fantasy value this season.
